The Handi Quilter Story

The story began when founder Laurel Barrus needed an easy way to carry her frame on trips to her family cabin. There was nothing on the market that met her needs, but that didn’t stop her. She worked with her father to create a frame that used her home sewing machine. It was light and small and could be adjusted to handle small or large quilts.It was a hit with her friends who all wanted one, too. Given the interest, she worked with several suppli-ers to create a sample frame that was shown at the International Quilt Festival in October, 2000. After the show there were enough orders to keep the suppli-ers busy until Christmas. She went to more shows and got more orders.Success Handi Quilter became a business in May of 2001. Engineers and support staff were hired to create a new type of product: the mid arm quilting machine. The result was the Handi Quilter Sixteen, now up-graded to the Sweet Sixteen. It is ideal for the home quilter who wants a quality product at an affordable price. The Sweet Sixteen is the centerpiece of the Handi Quilter product line.

A short nine years later, Handi Quilter earned worldwide safety and electrical certificates for their line of long arm quilting machines and systems. As a result, there are now more than 700 worldwide independent retail locations. Handi Quilter understands what quilters need, a reliable, low-maintenance quilting machine that not only makes it easy for you to finish more quilts, but also looks great in your studio. Whether you quilt for fun, charity, or for profit, Handi Quilter’s innovative technology and quality engineering provide the func-tionality that quilters demand along with the smooth-est stitch in the industry.

BLOCK OF THE MONTHFarmers Wife Block of the Month February 15 9:30am-12:30pm or1:30-4:30pmTeacher: Tanya SmithClass fee: $15 In the 1920s, city dwellers generally didn’t have a favorable perception of “Farm Women.” This decade falls between two important events in American history: the ending of World War I and the Great Depression. The Farmers Wife, a popular women’s magazine at the time, placed this question to its subscribers: “If you had a daughter of marriageable age, would you, in the light of your own experience, want her to marry a farmer?” Sign up to take this journey with us into the 1920s and put together the 111 blocks that the answers inspired. We will be reading the responses people had to this question and, if you want to, you can also share something from your own individual heritage!
